Image Segmentation Using Biogeography Based Optimization (BBO)

Image segmentation is an important problem in computer vision to completely understand the image for better results, i.e., identification of homogeneous regions in the image and has been the subject of considerable research for over the last three decades. Many algorithms have been elaborated for this purpose. This paper elaborates two algorithms one is global optimization method Biogeography Based optimization for automatically grouping the pixels of an color image into disjoint homogeneous regions and the other is clustering method Fuzzy K-means algorithm for reducing the computational complexity of image. And then comparison between both the techniques is calculated. In this purposed work these two algorithms are applied to image and performance is evaluated on the basis of computational time. Fuzzy K-means produces results which require more computational time than Biogeography based optimization. Therefore, comparison shows that Biogeography Based Optimization is more reliable and faster approach for image segmentation than Fuzzy K-means clustering algorithm

The clustering research is regarding the area of data mmmg and implementation of the clustering algorithms. The image clustering is major part of data mining where study about how to binds the similar data together in a cluster and show the meaningful data. There are many algorithm for analysing clustering each having its own method to do clustering. This clustering technique increasingly common and has yield many insights into segmentation factors, would effect image functioning and performance. The enormous researches going on extract image with background subtraction. We focus on the outlier detection and background subtraction on image. This project proposed a two color segmentation techniques such as K-means and Fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm that are accurately segment the desired images, which have the same color as the pre-selected pixels with background subtraction. In the software development testing we examine image based clustering, as we can used clustering by distance base, by pixel (red, green, blue) value etc., The problem is solved by region based method which is based on connect component and background detection techniques. The appropriate Java codes are developed for solve this task. The developed patterns are applied in the field ofreal-time analysis. Finally, the algorithm found, which would solve the image segmentation problem

Unsupervised Segmentation Method for Diseases of Soybean Color Image Based on Fuzzy Clustering

The method of color image segmentation based on Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) clustering is simple, intuitive and is to be implemented. However, the clustering performance is affected by the center point of initialization and high computation and other issues. In this research, we propose a new color image unsupervised segmentation method based on fuzzy clustering. This method combines advantages of the fuzzy C-means algorithm and unsupervised clustering algorithm. Firstly, by gradually changing clusters c, and according to validity measurement, it can unsupervised search for optimal clusters c; then in order to achieve higher accuracy of clustering effect, the distance measurement scale was improved. In our experiments, this method was applied to color image segmentation for three kinds of soybean diseases. The results show that this method can more accurately segment the lesion area from the color image, and the segmentation processing of soybean disease is ideal, robustness, and have a high accuracy

Analisis Komputasi pada Segmentasi Citra Medis Adaptif Berbasis Logika Fuzzy Teroptimasi

The objective of this research is to analyze the computation of medical image adaptive segmentation based on optimized fuzzy logic. The success of the image analysis system depends on the quality of the segmentation. The image segmentation is separating the image into regions that are meaningful for a given purpose. In this research, the Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) algorithm with spatial information is presented to segment Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) medical images. The FCM clustering utilizes the distance between pixels and cluster centers in the spectral domain to compute the membership function. The pixels of an object in image are highly correlated, and this spatial information is an important characteristic that can be used to aid their labeling. This scheme greatly reduces the effect of noise. The FCM method successfully classifies the brain MRI images into five clusters. This technique is therefore a powerful method in computationfor noisy image segmentation. Keywords: computation analysis, MRI Medical image, adaptive image segmentation, fuzzy cmean

Nuclei segmentation using level set method and data fusion for the CIN classification

This paper deals with the automation of the detection of the cervical cancer through histology images. This process is divided into two parts, corresponding to segmentation and data fusion. The segmentation and classification of the cervical epithelium images is done using hybrid image processing techniques. The digitized histology images provided have a pre-cervical cancer condition called cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) by expert pathologists. Previously, image analysis studies focused on nuclei-level features to classify the epithelium into the CIN grades. The current study focuses on nuclei segmentation based on the level set segmentation and fuzzy c-means clustering methods. Morphological post-processing operations are used to smooth the image and to remove non-nuclei objects. This algorithm is evaluated on a 71-image dataset of digitized histology images for nuclei segmentation. Experimental results showed a nuclei detection accuracy of 99.53 percent. The second section of this thesis deals with the fusion of the 117 CIN features obtained after processing the input cervical images. Various data fusion techniques are tested using machine learning tools. For further research, the best algorithm from Weka is chosen --Abstract, page iv

Fuzzy image segmentation using location and intensity information

The segmentation results of any clustering algorithm are very sensitive to the features used in the similarity measure and the object types, which reduce the generalization capability of the algorithm. The previously developed algorithm called image segmentation using fuzzy clustering incorporating spatial information (FCSI) merged the independently segmented results generated by fuzzy clustering-based on pixel intensity and pixel location. The main disadvantages of this algorithm are that a perceptually selected threshold does not consider any semantic information and also produces unpredictable segmentation results for objects (regions) covering the entire image. This paper directly addresses these issues by introducing a new algorithm called fuzzy image segmentation using location and intensity (FSLI) by modifying the original FCSI algorithm. It considers the topological feature namely, connectivity and the similarity based on pixel intensity and surface variation. Qualitative and quantitative results confirm the considerable improvements achieved using the FSLI algorithm compared with FCSI and the fuzzy c-means (FCM) algorithm for all three alternatives, namely clustering using only pixel intensity, pixel location and a combination of the two, for a range of sample of images

Performance characterization of clustering algorithms for colour image segmentation

This paper details the implementation of three traditional clustering techniques (K-Means clustering, Fuzzy C-Means clustering and Adaptive K-Means clustering) that are applied to extract the colour information that is used in the image segmentation process. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the performance of the analysed colour clustering techniques for the extraction of optimal features from colour spaces and investigate which method returns the most consistent results when applied on a large suite of mosaic images

Fuzzy Clustering for Image Segmentation Using Generic Shape Information

The performance of clustering algorithms for image segmentation are highly sensitive to the features used and types of objects in the image, which ultimately limits their generalization capability. This provides strong motivation to investigate integrating shape information into the clustering framework to improve the generality of these algorithms. Existing shape-based clustering techniques mainly focus on circular and elliptical clusters and so are unable to segment arbitrarily-shaped objects. To address this limitation, this paper presents a new shape-based algorithm called fuzzy clustering for image segmentation using generic shape information (FCGS), which exploits the B-spline representation of an object's shape in combination with the Gustafson-Kessel clustering algorithm. Qualitative and quantitative results for FCGS confirm its superior segmentation performance consistently compared to well-established shape-based clustering techniques, for a wide range of test images comprising various regular and arbitrary-shaped objects
